What’s the proper salutation when you meet a uniformed TSA employee not at the airport? One was entering a fast food place as I was leaving.
The ones that went through my head were, in no particular order:

- Are you here to gloat that you got another job after being fired for incompetence?
- What, no gloves?
- So what kind of cancers have you gotten yet?
- Go f#*k yourself
I ended up not saying anything because I was honestly shocked that anyone would wear the uniform without armed police close at hand. That, and Mrs wizardPC gave me the “don’t you dare” look.
I checked the Emily Post Institute but couldn’t find anything relevant.

“So… grown any superpowers or third arms?”
Taking the high road now and then doesn’t hurt. You might try asking him if he’s considered taking a different job – one where people don’t bag on him all the time.
